Grip (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈɡriːp]) is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
With a land area of only 0.48 square kilometres (120 acres) and a population of 104, Grip was the smallest municipality in Norway during its existence from 1897 until it merged with Kristiansund in 1964.
The entire community had previously been the property of a merchant in Kristiansund, not including the church, school and three private houses.
The name was first found in existing historical records in 1338 and it is a plural form of the word which makes sense since Grip is an archipelago.
[7] The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Grip was made up of 13 representatives that were elected to four year terms.
